Sung in Czech with Met titles in English

Estimated Run Time: 3 hours 40 min.

The Metropolitan Opera's new production of Dvorak‟s “Rusalka” may be the unlikeliest hit of the season, a staging that takes opera's answer to “The Little Mermaid” fairy tale and turns it into an almost shockingly dark, sexy drama. The mysterious look of the production, fantastical and ominous, combines with the sensual singing of a handsome cast to create a romantic energy rare at the Met — or at any opera house. - The New York Times
